Kando

📹 Check out the latest Innovate PHX Series! The City of Phoenix Water Services Department has partnered with Kando on a monitoring program that uses AI-powered sensors to detect pollutants in the wastewater system. Kando’s Data as a Service (DaaS) solution seamlessly integrates advanced hardware and software, providing real-time detection of upstream deviations to safeguard wastewater quality and its treatment processes. https://bit.ly/3AADGIJ #SmartCities #Kando #PhoenixWater #DaaS #STREAMi

💧 Did you know that industrial water usage accounts for about 22% of global water consumption? From manufacturing to cooling and waste disposal, industries rely heavily on water, but what happens after it’s used? 🤔 - Manufacturing – Industries like paper, textiles, and metal processing depend on water. - Cooling & heating – Power and data plants and factories use massive amounts for cooling machinery. - Cleaning & sanitation – Water is needed to wash equipment, products, and workspaces. - Waste disposal – Many industries use water to transport waste, which often contains pollutants. 🌍 Water withdrawals vary greatly by region, with some countries using over 1,000 m³ per person annually. 🚨 The real challenge? A lot of this water isn’t treated properly, leading to pollution in open waterways, aquifers, and groundwater. At Kando, we collaborate with utilities to empower their team to monitor wastewater in real-time, preventing pollution and optimizing #WaterReuse strategies. Check out the water withdrawals map below! How does your region compare? Drop a comment below! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d3CqS9HP #Wastewater #SmartCities #Sustainability #STREAMi #DaaS #WaterTech

In Palermo, Italy, together with B.M. Tecnologie Industriali s.r.l., we recently deployed Kando’s wastewater intelligence solution in an industrial area to protect WWTP operations from unforeseen pollution events that could slow or even damage operations. Kando’s solution empowers utility teams by providing: • Prompt detection of heavy metals and other pollutants • Protection of purifiers through reduced operational risks and lower sludge disposal costs • Enhanced control over industrial discharges to safeguard the ecosystem With Fabio Corazza

Reminiscing on #UMC25’s energy building impact, especially the insightful #DaaS workshop at SWAN - The Smart Water Networks Forum, where we tackled the balancing act of project costs and budgets, which can sometimes feel like a game of Tetris. 'Drop a high capital cost now or stack rising operational costs later. Either way, something’s piling up (literally! 🤣)' Jokes aside, the SWAN workshop underscored a crucial takeaway: it’s time to team up! Whether through cooperative purchasing, utility partnerships, or strategic delays, collaboration might just be the key to solving our wastewater riddle. #Wastewater #SWANForum #Collaboration #SmartWater #UtilityPartnerships #UMC25 #WEF #AWWA With Ori Reshef

Italy’s Wastewater: Navigating Compliance Like a Pro! Italy; famous for its pasta, breathtaking coastlines, and… wastewater compliance regulations? Yes, you read that right! With over 1,000 wastewater treatment plants across the country and ongoing challenges in meeting EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive standards, Italy’s utilities are collaborating with Kando to improve monitoring, reduce pollution, and enhance operational efficiency. The Compliance Conundrum: - Many municipalities still struggle with outdated infrastructure and insufficient #data. - #Compliance violations can result in hefty fines from the EU. - Climate change is making wastewater management even more unpredictable. That’s where Kando steps in! With our wastewater intelligence platform, utilities can: - Gain real-time insights into pollution sources before they reach treatment plants. - Ensure regulatory compliance by improving monitoring and reporting. - Optimize network performance and prevent costly inefficiencies. Turn #wastewater data into actionable #intelligence, because compliance shouldn’t feel like a guessing game! source: https://lnkd.in/gnVCqemE

Proactive water quality monitoring is key to protecting our environment. With real-time insights from Kando’s DaaS and #GenAI platform, non-compliant discharges can be identified and sampled in time to safeguard treatment plants and ensure regulatory compliance. By collaborating with utilities we empower them and their teams to protect downstream infrastructure, enhance wastewater quality for #WaterReuse, and improve overall network efficiency . Proud to be able to collaborate with one of our Italian partners #Almaviva in bringing #DaaS solutions to the forefront of #SmartCities and wastewater management. with B.M. Tecnologie Industriali s.r.l. & Fabio Corazza , Kando's Customer Success Manager in Italy #STREAMi #DaaS

Excited to see how sharing knowledge sparks energy, ideas, and, most importantly, curiosity about the opportunities a DaaS model can bring. It’s inspiring to witness collaboration in action as we tackle industry challenges together, and eye-opening to see how even simple data transparency between departments can drive major impact organization wide. A big thank you to Amir Cahn, PhD & SWAN - The Smart Water Networks Forum, Water Environment Federation, and American Water Works Association for driving this important conversation forward during #UMC25!

Listen here to the recap of SWAN - The Smart Water Networks Forum Americas Workshop at City of Phoenix, discussing the workshop Scaling Wastewater Monitoring for Advanced Water Purification At the Americas Workshop at Phoenix Water, @Stephen Kelley from City of Mesa recapped an insightful session from host City of Phoenix Water Services led by Nazario Prieto, Assistant Director & @Leslie Pollak, Customer Success Manager at Kando on scaling options for advanced water purification strategies, ensuring that contaminants stay out of treatment plants before they become a problem. Key takeaway? It’s not just about how we measure; what truly matters is the data we collect and the insights we extract. One essential preparation strategy discussed: leveraging Kando’s heat map to pinpoint areas of concern before contaminants reach the treatment plant; a proactive approach to smarter wastewater management. https://lnkd.in/eGaVzeX8

We’re excited to announce that Ori Reshef will be facilitating a session at the upcoming SWAN - The Smart Water Networks Forum DaaS Workshop during the Utility Management Conference by AWWA-WEF in Dallas! 🎤💡 📅 Date: February 11, 2025 📍 Location: Hilton Anatole, Dallas, TX (Cardinal Ballroom) 🕗 Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM CST The water sector has seen incredible advancements in technology, but to drive real adoption, innovation in business models must follow. This workshop, organized by AWWA-WEF and the SWAN DaaS Community of Practice, will explore how Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) can transform the way utilities collect, analyze, and utilize data. https://lnkd.in/dEahAEqm

We’re still buzzing from the @SWAN Americas Workshop in Phoenix last week! These amazing pictures capture the energy and excitement of such a fantastic event. A special thank you to our host, SWAN - The Smart Water Networks Forum & City of Phoenix Water Services, and Nazario Prieto, Assistant Director, and his team for collaborating on the interactive roundtable, Scaling Wastewater Monitoring. And of course, a big shoutout to all the participants who contributed to such an informative, fun and engaging session!
